Renewal Of Love

Chapter 393 Peter Xiao

Emily smiled awkwardly as she spoke in a low voice. "Anne is right, Kim…"

"Emily!" Before she could finish her sentence, Sam interrupted her with a glare. He shook his head at

her.

Her eyes flickered to Anne as she bit her tongue. It wasn't right of Emily to approve of her, since Anne

was ready to put herself in harm's way to lure Kim.

However, the corners of Anne's mouth slowly raised to reveal a shocking smile.

All of a sudden, Sam had a hunch that Kevin wouldn't be able to stop Anne.

The exposure of the recording and pictures had caused another public uproar. In this world, there was

never a shortage of onlookers.

Anne wasn't just the lady of a rich family anymore, she shared the same amount of fame as a popular

star. It wasn't because of her good repute, but her lecherous lifestyle!

Although it made Anne feel wronged, she had to put up with it.

When Selma came to know this, she had flown into a rage. She was about to expose Cherry’s true

identity but was stopped by Anne.

"Mom, before Cherry rose to fame, her identity must have been thoroughly investigated. Since her real

name still hasn't been published yet, it shows how powerful the support behind Cherry is." Anne sighed

dejectedly and continued, "We have no evidence. If we are to reveal her true identity, it will only arouse

more suspicion."

Of course, Selma knew she was right but she remained dissatisfied. "I can't bear it."

Being a bossy woman who kept her reputation in high regard, she found it hard to accept this easily.

Anne pursed her lips, deep in thought. It was her who had caused this situation after all!

The next morning, Kevin knocked on the door to Anne's room but didn't receive any response. When

he realized that she was missing, he couldn't help but feel anxious.

"Where is Anne?" Kevin questioned the servants, growing more uneasy by the minute.

The servants shook their heads, looking confused. They didn't know where Anne was. No one did.

Kevin frowned and immediately called her, only to be met with a robotic voice informing him that her

phone was powered off.

She had disappeared and there was no way to contact her. Where on earth could she be?

Anne had actually woken up early to avoid Selma and Kevin, heading out on her own.

As she stood in front of the office of the AS Group, Anne raised her eyebrows slightly. She was sure

Ryan would be here at this hour.

He would have never expected the visit but seeing the recent chain of events, it seemed rational of

Anne to come to Ryan. He cleared his throat as he comforted her, "Anne, although I don't know

everything that has happened, I believe you. I am on your side. You are not the kind of person the

report portrays you as."

"Who are you?" Anne stared at the man sitting in front of her.

Ryan's body instantly stiffened. He had used a horrible way to get money from Anne, continuing to run

the AS Group instead of leaving A City. He knew Kevin was not that kind of person who would easily let

him go and would definitely suppress his group, but it turned out that never happened.

Now, Anne suddenly came and asked about his real identity. What did she want to do?

Ryan's breathing quickened, he couldn't help but overthink. After all, he had done so many shameful

things that he couldn't help but feel guilty now.

"Don't worry. I'm not going to do anything. It's just that you are not Ryan, so I don't want to continue

calling you by that name," Anne explained after the other party didn't respond for a long time.

Ryan intertwined his fingers, frowning slightly. After a long pause, he took a labored inhale and said,

"My name is Peter Xiao and I’m Ryan's biological younger brother."

Anne raised her head to look at him, blinking in surprise.

As far as she could remember, Ryan was the only child of his parents. She had never heard of Peter

Xiao before.

"I was abducted by human traffickers as a child. Despite looking for a long time, my parents weren't

able to find me and they had no choice but to forget about me. When I met Ryan by chance, I finally

found my home. But before I could meet my parents, my brother passed away. I was so greedy that I

wanted to have his property as my own. Since we both looked the same, I took Ryan's identity and

started living as him." Before Peter Xiao could finish his monologue, Anne understood the entire truth.

She breathed a sigh of relief as she said, smiling sadly, "I didn't expect your life story to be so torturous.

Since you are Ryan's younger brother, I feel more or less comforted."

Ryan had left behind his property in Anne's name. It was still well preserved as she never used it.

"I came here today to ask you if you have any way to contact Kim," Anne asked straightforwardly, her

gaze unwavering.

With a scowl on his face, Peter Xiao slowly shook his head. There was a complicated look in his eyes

as he replied, "I don't know how to contact him."

Anne scanned him up and down. Since she had spent some time with him, she was able to detect his

emotional changes. Although he seemed calm outside, she saw a flash of worry in his eyes.

It seemed that her suspicions were true, Peter Xiao could in fact get in touch with Kim.

Lowering her head, Anne let out a heavy sigh. She said, "Peter, thank you for trusting me, but I need to

tell you the truth. The person in the recording and pictures on Kristine's micro-blog is me."

"What did you just say?" Peter Xiao's eyes flew open, looking at her in disbelief. The smile on his face

gradually faded away.

All of his attention was focused on her. He had listened to the recording and knew that the voice was

indeed Anne's. However, there was a possibility that the audio might be synthesized. This made him

not take his assumption seriously. Anne admitting to being the person in the recording was the last

thing he had expected.

"Kim has been involved with me for a long time. I have fallen in love with him, but I can't contact him!"

Anne looked away, her eyes stinging. "Kim told me that he would love me as long as I love him. But the

fact that he didn't even leave me his number makes me so concerned.

I am glad the recording and pictures were exposed because it gives me a chance to force Kevin to

divorce me!"

Peter Xiao listened to her quietly, looking at her up and down. Anne had an affectionate look on her

face with tears threatening to spill her eyes, like a desperate woman trapped in love.

Could this be the drug? It was so powerful!

"Anne, have you made up your mind? What if you regret it in the future?" Looking at Anne, Peter Xiao

asked hesitantly.

Shaking her head, she firmly stated, "No, I'll not regret it! This is my last chance. I can't miss it!"

Seeing her conviction, Peter Xiao knew he wouldn't be able to convince her otherwise.

After exchanging a few more words, Anne stood up. Peter Xiao couldn't recall what she had said

towards the end, because his mind was elsewhere. Seeing that she was about to leave, he struggled

silently. He wanted to stop her but finally gave up in the end.

What could he say to her after stopping her? Could he tell her the truth? Should he tell her that Kim

was here?

At that moment, the door flew open and a tall man wearing a hat entered his office.

Although his eyes were cold, there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. He took his seat

directly in front of Peter Xiao.

After leaving M City, Kim was so bold that he directly returned to A City. He had avoided all spies and

was able to successfully find Peter Xiao. No one else was able to find him until now.

Peter Xiao was impressed by the man's power and cunning streak.

Despite this, he looked at Kim in confusion, asking, "Don't you love Anne? Anne is crazy about you

now. Why don't you show up and contact her?"

Giving a dark smile, Kim lowered his head. He took out his phone and played again the recording that

was released by Cherry, satisfaction lining his eyes.

He couldn't help but be amazed by how powerful the drug was. The effects were so strong that Anne

wasn't able to live without him anymore.

"Kevin is keeping a close watch on Anne. If I contact her, he will find out. So it's better to wait and let

the events unfold on their own. Moreover, the effects of the drug are supposed to last for at least a

year. She will continue to love me till then." The woman he loved so deeply also loved him back. The

feeling was wonderful!

It didn't make a difference if it was true love or not. Everyone knew that she was in love with him, she

was also ready to set Kevin up for him!

"Since Kevin is still refusing to divorce Anne, I want to know the lengths she is willing to go to force

him." Kim gave a confident smirk.

Peter Xiao frowned at his arrogance but felt a little guilty in his heart. ‘Anne, you once told me that you

thought of me as your friend. I feel bad for treating you like this. Will you be extremely disappointed

with me?'

After exiting the building, Anne was starving so she walked into a random shop. She had only taken a Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

few bites of her food when she heard people whispering. She pricked up her ears when she realized

they were talking about her.

"Doesn't that woman look awfully like Anne?"

"I believe that is Anne, the promiscuous woman who everyone hates!"

"This woman is a slut!"

"Mr. Kevin is such a good man. How could he allow this woman to mess up his life? It's so pathetic."

Anne reached out her hand to hold her forehead, trying to drown out the whispers and stares. She ate

her food in quick bites. She never could have guessed that she would be recognized, but it turned out

that she was quite famous.

When she turned on her phone, there were many messages from Kevin. She quickly replied to inform

him that she was safe.

"Kevin, I'm fine. Don't worry."

As soon as he received her text, Kevin breathed a sigh of relief. He had been so worried about her. He

immediately sent someone to locate where she was and drove to get her.

When Anne was finished eating, she caught sight of Kevin rushing over to her. She was surprised to

see him, smiling gently as he came closer.

She was aware that Kevin was really worried about her.

"Anne." Kevin took uneven breaths, his eyes glancing towards her.

With a growing smile, Anne weakly admitted, "I couldn't fall asleep, so I went out to meet an old friend.

You don't have to be so anxious."

Despite a frown forming on his face, Kevin was relieved to see her. He rushed to open the door for her

and let her in. The scene didn't go unnoticed by the crowd of people, who had already recorded them

and spread it on the internet. Their meeting had created another buzz.

People thought of Anne as a despicable and ruthless woman, who had colluded with Kristine to set up

Kevin. They pitied him for he still loved her and wouldn't let her go. His strong devotion and love for her

not only surprised everyone but also made countless women jealous of Anne!
